"Our first title update for Spelunky is up on XBLA! For this update we focused on fixing bugs and making a few safe changes to the gameplay," said the studio in a statement.

"We're very happy to be able to release this patch before the year ended. It's been an amazing year for the Spelunky team thanks to all of the people who have played it... especially all the reviewers and players who have shared their stories.

"Have a wonderful and safe holidays, unless we're talking about in the game."
